Sat, 13 Nov 2010 05:09:06 +0000http://lanternreview.com/blog/?p=2747#comment-2313Thanks all for the comments and the response on Cha’s blog. It was a pleasure to write about these poems; I’m glad the review’s being received well. I’ve tried my best to show what your poems can offer on multiple reads, and distinguish rather than merely praise, diagnose rather than merely condemn. I hope my comments were helpful in some way.

@Yamabuki: I appreciate your candid response. All poets love language in its various densities and flavors, pompous or otherwise. You and I might simply come from different schools of thought. If you’d like to debate diction, style, method, etc in writing, feel free to email me at

and I’ll be glad to discuss further.

One or two would be fine
But why so many
Sprinkled throughout
Not that they are used
Incorrectly
Or inappropriately
But rather they are jarring
And even pompous
And interfere
With the clarity
Of his writing

Still, I appreciate his effort
His depth of knowledge
His critical understanding
His writing ability
His point of view
His positive review
Of our beloved Cha
